House Inhabit

Lately, storytelling has brought me a sense of satisfaction, especially when I was starting to lose hope in connecting with others through my writing. It felt like online communication was becoming more limited. In a time when censorship is increasing and there's a lack of trust in paid media that aims to create division and distraction, I wanted to create a space for those seeking something different—something refreshing. Get ready for a revival of wild humor, sharp sarcasm, and authentic conversations where people speak freely and genuinely. No filters, just real talk.

On the Eve of Diddy’s Trial: A Key Witness is Still Missing

4 days ago | jessicareedkraus.substack.com | Jessica Reed Kraus

Prison dispatches are rich these days. I’ve earned a reputation as a quality penpal. New inmates keep finding me. The latest comes from Tallahassee. After learning what I write about, she asked—of all things: “Are Donald Trump’s hands soft?”I told her they were. Something I noticed the first time he shook my hand. “How soft?”“Softer than any man’s hands. Like silk. Like the hands of someone who’s never changed a tire or dabbled in carpentry.”That seemed to satisfy her.
Happy Mother's Day

"Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have." —Joan RyanOne of the questions I’m asked most often is: What does “House Inhabit” mean—and how does it relate to news and culture? It doesn’t. Or at least, it didn’t. Not initially. It started as something personal—a name that honored the shape of my life as a stay-at-home mom held in place by routine and ritual. Originally, it was House of Habit.
MAHA Civil War: Calley Offers Proof Loomer is Funded by Nicole Shanahan-Loomer Claims The Means Siblings Are Both Anti-Trump Druggies

I’m back! And while I’d much rather be spending my Friday rounding up Kate Middleton’s latest wardrobe perfection, welcome to the MAHA civil war. (Bouncing off of an earlier piece)Quick Update: the feud between Calley Means & Laura Loomer is escalating. Calley now claims he has proof that Loomer is being funded by Nicole Shanahan. Loomer, in turn, is accusing the Means family of being closet Never Trumpers, and drug addicts. Who’s going to tell her all of MAHA is pro Psilocybin?
Outrage Poorly Spent

1 week ago | jessicareedkraus.substack.com | Aaron Everitt |Jessica Reed Kraus

After Casey Means was announced Wednesday as Trump’s replacement pick for Surgeon General, backlash erupted almost instantly. Laura Loomer wasted no time spearheading the firing squad on X, painting Casey as yet another liberal fraud—just one more example, she argued, of Trump’s ongoing vetting crisis. Her contempt for RFK has become something of a personal crusade.
The Correspondents’ Dinner is Dead - Long Live the Party

1 week ago | jessicareedkraus.substack.com | Jessica Reed Kraus

Forgive me. I’m a week behind. Honestly, it’s a wonder I finish anything at all on this schedule. Thank you to the writers who noticed and approached me during the parties asking how I find time to write. It’s a constant struggle. But I’m home now for a bit. Next week, I’ll reveal details about another upcoming adventure. In the meantime, please enjoy an overdue WHDC recap. My knowledge of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is limited.
EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Nick Tartaglione on Jeffrey Epstein’s Final Days

2 weeks ago | jessicareedkraus.substack.com | Jessica Reed Kraus

"Epstein was a manipulative figure who caused profound trauma to all involved."—Hugo VickersThis series isn't about chasing conspiracy theories —or starting any new ones. It’s about making sense of the confusion and exposing layers of conflicting media narratives, bureaucratic failure, and the despair of life inside a broken system. These sessions were recorded late last summer. At the time, I was just beginning to understand the contours of Nick Tartaglione’s case.

Question . . .

As we settle into this next phase of our journey together—juggling politics with culture—I’d like to break up some of the political content with a revived focus on pop culture. Partly because I have a series of partially drafted stories on topics I know you’re eager to dive into: Britney Spears, an update on Amber Heard, Elon’s embryos, a long-shelved conclusion to the Depp trial saga, a deep dive into the real Meghan Markle, my federal prison postcard series, and a few more surprises.
Easter at the White House

2 weeks ago | jessicareedkraus.substack.com | Jessica Reed Kraus

As usual, we ended up on a last-minute flight Easter afternoon to catch one of the oldest annual events in White House history. Hayes, our fifth grade correspondent, was determined to see what the Egg Roll was all about. He takes his job seriously, as evidenced by the slim collection of suit jackets he’s now growing, along with the bottle of Bleu de Chanel swiped from his father after Christmas. On the way to the airport, I sent him on assignment to learn the history of the Egg Roll.
